Oh Steve, I think, I think you’ve got a small piece of sample of carpet stuck on your head… Steve McL : Don’t be silly you Rodney Plonker, That’s my hair island.

Pearl Ram Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 What if McClaren hadn't tried to be all laughy and jokey with Hughton at the Amex when we were 3 nil down and being played off the park ? Would he have been sacked after that result ? That game might have just gone down as a bad day at the office, much like at Bramall Lane this season, and he might have got longer, who knows ? McClaren/Rowett, it's a matter of opinion who is going to turn out to be the better appointment, we'll find out in due course and I wish Rowett well but I do wonder who McClaren might have bought given the opportunity. Bit of a waste of time mind but it does cross my mind when I'm sitting here on random select. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I'm glad he's gone too. Those points he used to get were annoying. I much preferred Clement's exciting style and losing by 3 and 4 at Bristol and Brentford under Rowett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilsonram12 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 There's a reason he's overlooked for jobs in England/Scotland.... he's just not that good!! The only credible managers we've got rid off, of recent, are Clough at Burton and Clement at Swansea The ostrich Pearson reappears in an obscure division 2 outfit in Belgium, and Jewell and the dwarf have disappeared Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very good Alpha but in fairness to Rowett, I have been quite impressed on occasions with our workrate, I was delirious in the first half against Hull, parrot sick at the aforementioned Brentford and Bristol performances and results, and you can chuck Sheffield United in there while I'm at it. Getting the best out of Vydra should go down as a plus as well but I do have reservations about him, not quite convinced he's what we're looking for.

England manager,Newcastle and derby not good enough for you? As for Clough,he's a good lower division manager but better at buying players than utilising them. Clement?....dragged the previous seasons exciting football down to tedium week in and week out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McClaren at Boro, England, Twente, Wolfsburg, Forest, Derby, Newcastle and Derby. 4 top flight jobs, 1 international and 2 Championship. All that with no credibility.

I just get really bored of people talking complete s**** about Mac. I don't mind if people want to criticise Mac. I just mind when they don't apply the same criteria to managers they love. People do the same with players. Different judging criteria. Like some people would genuinely claim the football now is better than under Mac. And it simply isn't. Not in general. And Wassall played some games similar to this and got murdered. Then we played a couple of great games under him and they don't get a bloody mention. I'm not going to knock Clement because he's still new and shiny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clough built a fantastic foundation for us to take a leap forward even if maybe he wasnt the man to take that leap forward, our constant changing managers has seen that foundation eroded.

Definitely feel that we've ruined any sort of building with each change. Clough to Mac to Clement was ok. It was Wassall to Pearson to Mac to Rowett that has given us an identity crisis. I don't care who is manager. I'm not that arsed about what league we're in. Just want to enjoy football matches. Only get mardy when people say things that aren't fair. If you could rewind to when that FT whistle went v Forest in 2013... where would you stop and start again from? For me it would be the end of 14/15 season and I'd keep Mac. I imagine most will say when Rowett walked in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
